1 Korintho 11
1 Ntyati unene, anga unene nenemotyatile ukilisto.
[Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
2 Itungo ite kumukulya kunsoko munkimbukile mumakani ehi. Kumukulya nsoko mumaambile imapoke anga uu naenimaletile kitalanyu.
I praise you because you remember all the things [that I taught you] and because you follow the instructions that I gave you. You have done just like I told you to do.
3 Inge ndoilwe mulenge kina Ukilisto itwe lakale umugoha nung'wenso umugoha itwe lemusungu, hangekina Itunda itwe lang'wa Kilisto.
[Now], I want you to know that the one who has authority over [MTY] every man is Christ, and the ones who have authority over women are men (OR, their husbands), and the one who has authority over Christ is God.
4 Kukela umugoha nukulompa ang'wi nukupumya ikidagu wezeukunekie itwe ukulehumya minyala itwe lakwe.
[So] if any man [wears a covering over] his head when he prays or speaks a message God gave him, he disgraces himself [SYN].
5 Kuite kela umusungu nukulompa ang'wi kupumya kidagu itwe lakwe singa ukunekie ukulekunya munyala itwe lakwe. Kundogoilyo impyani nukuzulwa.
Also, if any woman does not wear a covering over her head when she prays or speaks a message that God gave her, she disgraces herself (OR, she dishonors her husband). That would be acting like [SIM] [women who are ashamed because] their heads have been shaved.
6 Angeze anga umusungu shukukunekila itwe lakwe, nuazule isingi lakwe letule ikupi. Ndogoilyo angeze minyala umusungu kuzula isingi lakwe, inge wakunekile itwe lakwe.
So, if women do not wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them], they should let someone shave their heads [so that they will be ashamed]. But since women are ashamed if someone cuts their hair [short] or shaves off their hair, they should wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them].
7 Inge shainene umugoha kukunekila itwe lakwe, kunsoko nuanso mpyani aukulu wang'wi Tunda. Kuite umusungu ukulu wamugoha.
Men should not wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them], because they represent what God is like [MET] and they show how great God is. But women show how great men (OR, their husbands) are.
8 Ndogoilyo umugoha shanga aupumie anga kumusungu. Inge musungu aupumie kumugoha.
[Remember that God intends that men have authority over women. We know that] because [God] did not make [the first] man, [Adam], from the [first] woman, [Eve]. Instead, he made that woman [from a bone that he took] from the man.
9 Hange umugoha shanga aeimbilwe nsoko amusungu. Inge umusungu aeuumbilwe kunsoko amugoha.
Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
10 Iye yiye nsoko umusungu yemunonee kina kutula nekilingasiilyo kauhumi kitwe lakwe, kunsoko ang'wa malaeka.
For that reason, women should wear something [to cover] their heads [as a symbol of their being under their husbands’] [MTY] authority. They should also [cover their heads] so that the angels [will see that and rejoice].
11 Ataa uu, mu Mukulu, umusungu wekelile nuinyenye sunga numugoha, ang'wi migoha umusungu wezewikutile.
However, remember that [even though God created the first] woman from [the first] man, all other men [have been born] from women. So men cannot be independent of women, nor can women be independent of men. But all things, [including men and women], come from God.
12 Ndogoilyo anga uu umusungu aupumile kumugoha, kuuu uu umugoha aupumile kumusungu. Nemaintu ehi epuma kung'wi Tunda.
13 Lamuli unyenye. Itee inoneene umusungu amulompe Itunda itwe lakwe ezeliwazi?
Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
14 Itee akupumo udu wenso shaumumanyisilye kina umugoha angeze ukete imasingi malepu minyala kung'waakwe?
(Everyone senses that it is disgraceful for men to have long hair./Doesn’t everyone sense that it is disgraceful for men to have long hair?) [RHQ]
15 Itee upumo shaumumanyisilyene kina umusungu angeze ukete imasingi malepu ikulyo kung'waakwe ndogoilyo upegilwe imasingi nanso nimalipu anga ketambala kakwe.
But it is very delightful if women have long hair, because [God] gave them long hair to be like a [beautiful] covering [for their heads].
16 Kuite angeze umuntu wehi uloilwe kikunguma kuile, use kiagila anga upeuli nuungiza, singa imatekeelo nang'wi Tunda.
But whoever wants to argue [with me about my saying that women should have a covering over their heads when they pray or speak a message from God should consider the fact that] we [apostles] do not [permit] any other custom, and the [other] congregations of God do not have any other custom.
17 Kumalagiilyo nalongolekile, unene singa kumukulya ndogoilyo nemukilingiila, singa kulija inge nukuukulya.
Now I want to tell you [about some other things]. I do not praise you about them, because whenever you believers meet together, good [things do not happen]. Instead, bad things [happen].
18 Ndogoilyo ang'wandyo, kija kina nimutankanile mitekeelo, ukole utemanuki mung'waanyu, hange inino kuhuela.
First of all, people have told me that when you gather together as a group [to worship God], you divide into groups [that are hostile to each other]. To some extent I believe that is true.
19 Kundogoilyo kusinja ukole uwisumbuli mung'waanyu nsoko kina awa niagombigwe igeelekele kitalanyu.
It seems that you must divide into [groups that despise each other] in order that it might be clear/evident which people among you [God] approves of!
20 Kundogoilyo nemukutankana, nemukulya singa ludya la Mukulu.
When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
21 Nemukulya kela ung'wi wilya uludya lakwe ung'wenso iauye ezeakile kulya, atayuyu ukete nzala, nuyu ugaile.
But [what happens when] you eat is that each person eats his own meal before [he thinks about sharing his food with anyone else]. As a result, [when the meal is over], some people are [still] hungry and others are drunk! [So it is not a meal that honors the Lord].
22 Itee kutilene imato nakulila nukung'wela? Itee mulimeilene itekeelo lang'wi Tunda nukuasokoolya niagila ikintu? Ntambue ule kitalanyu? Numukulyene? Singa kumukulya kueleite.
([You act as though] you do not have your own houses in which you can eat and drink [whatever you want to]!/Do you not have your own houses in which you can eat and drink [whatever you want to]?) [RHQ] Do you not realize [RHQ] [that by acting selfishly in this way], it is God’s people whom you are despising, and it is the poor people [in your group] whom you are treating as though they were not important? What shall I say to you about that [RHQ]? Do [you expect] me to praise you [about what you do] [RHQ]? I certainly will not praise you!
23 Ndogoilyo aesingiiye kupuma kumukulu iki naenuupee unyenye kina Mukulu u Yesu, uutiku wuwo naeamuhitile, aeuhoile umukate.
The Lord taught me these things that I also taught you: During the night that Jesus was betrayed {[Judas] enabled [the enemies of] the Lord Jesus to seize him}, he took some bread.
24 Pangakasongeela, wikaubuna nukulunga, “Uwu wuwu muili wane, ukole kunsoko anyu. Tendi uu kunkimbula unene.
After he thanked God for it, he broke it into pieces. [Then he gave it to his disciples] and said, “This bread [represents] [MET] (OR, is) my body, that [I am about to sacrifice] for you. Eat bread in this [way again and again] to remember my [offering myself as a sacrifice for you].”
25 Hange uu uuu wikakola ikekombe panga wikalya, nukulunga, “ikikombe iki ilago lane nipya kusakami ane. Tendi uu nkue yedu numukung'we, kunkimbuke unene.
Similarly, after they ate their meal, he took a cup [MTY] [of wine]. He [thanked God for it. Then he gave it to his disciples], saying, “[The wine in] [MTY] this cup [represents] [MET] (OR, is) my blood [that will flow from my body] ([to put into effect/to establish]) the new agreement [that God is making with people]. Whenever you drink wine in this way, do it to remember that [my blood flowed for you].”
26 Kukela itungo nemukulya umukate uwo nuku king'ela ikekombe, mukumitanantya nsha a Mukulu sunga nuzizizila.
[Remember that] until the Lord [Jesus] returns [to the earth], whenever you eat the [bread that represents his body] and drink the wine [MTY] [that represents his blood], you are telling other people that he died [for you].
27 Kuite gwa, kukila nukulya umukate, ang'wi kukig'wa ikikombe nikanso nika Mukulu neshainonea ukutula walija igazo kumuili nisakami a Mukulu.
So, those who eat that bread and drink that wine [MTY] in a way that is not proper [for those who belong to the Lord] are guilty of [acting in a way that is contrary to what] our [Lord intended when he offered] his body [as a sacrifice] and his blood [flowed when he died].
28 Umuntu wikolye ung'wenso hanza, uu wazenakulya umukate, nukung'wa ikekombe.
Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
29 Ndogoilyo nukulya nukung'wa singa ezewihoiye hanza, wiliza nukung'wa ulamuli wakwe ang'wenso.
because if anyone eats [the bread that represents Christ’s body] and drinks [the wine that represents his blood] without recognizing that all God’s [people should be united, God will] punish him [for doing that].
30 Eye yeye nsoko aantu edu mung'waanyu alwae nawa nianegetu, hange ang'wiao mung'waanyu akule.
Many people in your group are weak and sick, and several have died [EUP] because of [the way they acted when they ate that bread and drank that wine].
31 Kuite angakigoza usese shakuulamulwa.
If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
32 inge gwa nekulamulwa nu Mukulu, kuusukilwa, nsoko kuleka kulamulwa palung'wi nuunkumbigulu.
But when the Lord judges [and punishes] us [for acting wrongly], he disciplines us [to correct us], in order that he will not [need to] punish us when he punishes [the people who do not trust in Christ] [MTY].
33 Kuite gwa, akaka neadada ane, nemutankanile muhume kulya, ulindeeli.
So, my fellow believers, when you gather together to eat [food to remember the Lord’s dying for you], wait until everyone [has arrived so that you can find out who does not have enough food].
34 Umuntu angeze ukete nzala, nualye kulolakwe, nsoko kina nimutankanile palung'wi ileke kutula ulamuli. Nukumakani nimangeza nemuandekile nzeemulagiila anganaza.
Those who are so hungry [that they cannot wait to eat until everyone else has arrived] should eat in their own homes [first], in order that when you gather together God will not judge [and punish them for] ([being inconsiderate of/not being concerned about]) [others]. And when I come [to Corinth] I will give you instructions about other matters [concerning the Lord’s Supper].
